Georgian Labor Party

The Georgian Labor Party (GLP) is a social democratic political party in the Republic of Georgia that was founded in August 1995 by Shalva Natelashvili. The party won a series of court trials that resulted in the legalization of free secondary school nationwide, the reduction of the electricity tariff for three years, and other legal battles to improve the social conditions of the Georgian people. The party platform emphasized social guarantees, including free public services and education, alongside increased state intervention to protect small businesses.
